Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Francis seemed to be attending a meeting. He interrupted the presenter and walked out of the meeting room.
“Listen, Scarlett. Two other Cambridge students rented the house, which means Skyler will actually have two roommates. I’ve investigated their backgrounds, and they just seem like regular kids. You don’t have anything to worry about.” Francis explained to her patiently.
“But…but you didn’t even ask me before you made these decisions? I am his sister!”
Francis leaned against the wall and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “I didn’t ask you because you didn’t want to talk to me.”
Scarlett was stunned and couldn’t find the words to argue with Francis at all. But obviously, Francis didn&

Scarlett was made sober by his words. She urged, “What do I have to be afraid of anyway? I have not done anything wrong!”She sat up straight when she yelled at Francis, but Francis wore a gentle and affectionate smile on his face. Scarlett had not looked at him, so from such close quarters in over a month, his elegance and charm caught her off guard. So, she kept staring at him and couldn’t move her eyes away.Francis leaned on the bedside; he touched Scarlett’s face gently and cautiously. “I’m so sorry for what I said that day, babe.” His voice was low and a bit hoarse. Scarlett could practically hear the guilt dripping from his words. She felt that his gentle touch and soft voice had almost healed her wounds. But she pinched her own thigh to warn herself to remain reasonable and remember the deep pain he had caused h

“What do you mean? We’re boyfriend and girlfriend, aren’t we? Why shouldn’t we live together? That’s the real question…” Francis leaned on the door and stared at Scarlett with his hands in the pockets of his trousers. If they had not been in the middle of a dispute, Scarlett would probably have admitted that his posture was sophisticated and attractive.“Just because I’m your girlfriend doesn’t mean I don’t get to have my private space and time to myself.” Scarlett raised her voice.“You can do whatever you want. I will not interfere in your personal life. But living together is the most basic tenet for two people who are in a relationship.” Francis answered very patiently. He was the one begging her to stay, after all. He needed to be careful with his words so as not to upset

I recognize your distinguished contributions to this great, heroic cause!”“Blah…” Scarlett pretended to throw up at his pretentious tone.“Come on, you should be happy for me!”Scarlett just closed her eyes; she felt exhausted and sleepy.

What makes you think you get to decide the rules all the damn time?”“Scarlett!” Francis tried to pull her back, and she struggled against him.“I don't like this kind of unequal treatment. Yes, you are older and much, much more experienced than me, but you don’t have the right to change me!” Scarlett struggled harder to get away from Francis.“I have the freedom to make mistakes, and I should also get the opportunity to do my best to correct them.
